16th Century paper mill along the river on the Dordogne border.

The area was renowned for its ideal crystal-clear slow flowing water helping to manufacture paper by washing and crushing textile fibres.
The location alongside the river allows you to fish from inside “granny’s home” and explains the name on the cadastre: Les Belles Vues
The South-entrance of the U-shaped farm through a fabulous iron gate brings you immediately back in time. The former mill has been owned by the same carpenter-family for more than 3 generations and this craftsmanship can be admired in the wood work all through the property: majestic oak stairs and ingenious roof frame work.
The main property can be lived in immediately whilst the other outbuildings are in need of a thorough and total renovation.
One can still admire the drying area where a natural draft was created to enhance the process.
Have a look through our pictures and through our 360° tour to give you a first impression of the necessary investment, after which we are at your service to organize a real elaborate visite.
Magnificent setting, great history in need of a next generation care-takers.
